Count number of rows in all tables

Hello

I wanted to see how to create a table that shows the number of rows that contain all the tables in the report.

An example of the new table to be created would be:

NombreTablaRows
Table A65
Table B30
Table C18

Thanks a lot!

Table = 
    { 
        ( "Table A", COUNTROWS('Table A') ),
        ( "Table B", COUNTROWS('Table B') ),
        ( "Table C", COUNTROWS('Table C') )
    }

Maybe some 3rd party tools do the trick; or resort to Power Query,

let
    Source = 
    let 
        tabs = List.Select(Record.FieldNames(#shared), each Text.Contains(_, "Table ")), 
        rs = List.Transform(tabs, each Table.RowCount(Expression.Evaluate("#""" & _ & """", #shared))) 
    in 
        Table.FromColumns({tabs, rs}, {"Table Name", "Rows"})
in
    Source

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
